Chapter 17: The Hard Times Come First

Huey's POV:

My head was pounding as I got up. I rubbed it and sat up. For a split second I forgot where I was then it all came pouring back kidnapped, beaten, Sophie...SOPHIE! I partically hopped up. I searched around the room but she was gone. Then my eyes landed on Hailey who was looking at me alarmed.

"A-Are you ok?" she asked.

"Where's Sophie?" I asked ignoring her question.

She bit her lip. "Dimitri took her away to see daddy." she said softly.

I reached down and shook her shoulders. "What are they doing to her?" I asked.

She reached up and knocked my arms off with her forearms. "Get the fuck away from me! I don't know. Daddy probably is killing her by now." she walked over to the door.

I reached forward and pulled her back with such force I'm pretty sure I left a mark. "You're not going anywhere." I growled. She glared into my eyes. "If you want to leave unharmed do everything I say."

She stared at me. Then let out an annoyed huff. "Fine." she said.

I nodded. "Heres the plan you go ask for someone to come and take you back to whatever." I said.

"That's it? Some plan." she mumbled.

I shook her shoulder again. "Do. ." I said slowly.

She rolled her eyes and walked to the door banging it. "Hello?! Somebody get me outta here or else!" no reply. "I said GET ME OUTTA HERE!" she screeched.

The door flung open. "Calm down kid geez-"

I leaped out and punched the guy hard in his face. He fell and I punched him again, harder knocking him out. Hailey giggled like seeing people in pain was the funniest thing ever. I shook my head, weird kid. I pushed past her to the open door and ran out.

"Bye Huey!" Hailey called and skipped away in the other direction.

I ignored her and ran faster. I turned a corner then spun back around. There were two guards standing there gun ready. I sucked in a breath and turned the corner ready to fight. To my surprise they were running down the hallway in a different direction. I raised my eyebrow. Something was not right, they were headed to the intrance. I ran and turned corner after corner not sure exactly where I was going.

AN, AN, AN!

I heard the alarm go off and jumped a bit. They must know I'm gone now. My mind flashed to Hailey. Damn tattletale. I sighed and continued running. "Hey you! Stop!" Someone yelled.

I turned and seen a guard running my way. I ran in the other direction. I was ran faster than ever not really sure where I was going. It was so dumb, I was running from someone only to run into someone else. "Ow..." I groaned. I rubbed my head and looked up. I was surprised to see who it was.

"Jazmine?" I asked.

"H-Huey?" she asked. We stared at each other amazed not sure what to do. "Huey!" she squealed. She jumped up and ran towards me falling on me. Her arms wrapped around me and she hugged me tight.

My arms wrapped around her too and I hugged her as tight as I could. She hugged back just as hard. I'm pretty sure we were there for a while but I never let go and niether did she. Cindy just looked at us with a pained expression like seeing us happy was sad to her. She turned and tried to hide her tears.

"You ok there Cindy?" I teased.

She sniffled. "Shut up bitch. Yo gay ass was makin me tear up, cuz ya so gay." she said sniffling more.

Jazmine giggled. "Shut up Cindy." she said. Jazmine stood up and then I did. When we were both up she wrapped her arms around me again.

"Hey you three! Stay right there!" the same guard yelled.

BANG!

I tried to let go but Jazmine pulled me closer. I adjusted my body and saw that she had shot him. I looked at her surprised. She laughed and waved me off. I grabbed her closer and pulled her into a kiss. A slow kiss that I knew she loved. She looked surprised at me and then started kissing me back. Cindy sniffled again. I smirked slightly.

"Aye not ta break up wateva da fuck dis is but we need ta get a move on." Cindy said suddenly.

I pulled away and nodded. I finally got a good look at Cindy. She had a bandage over her kneck and her right arm was in a cast. I raised one eyebrow. "What happened?" I asked.

Her left hand imediately shot to her kneck and er cheeks flushed. "Nothin, come one." she said walking away not looking back. Jazmine began to follow her but I pulled her back.

"What's going on?" I asked.

She pulled away. "I'm sorry Huey but its not my story to tell." she grabbed my hand and smiled slightly. We all looked at Cindy as she lead the way. She turned right and we followed her. Me and Jazmine was holding hands and we didn't say anything.

"Hey," I thought suddenly. "How did you guys find us?" I asked.

"Its actually a very long story." She stopped to chuckle. "And I'll tell it later but better question. Where's Sophie?" she asked.

I sighed and shrugged. "Someone took her somewhere." I said.

"Wow cus dat make it muuuucccch clearer." Cindy said with pure sarcaism.

I rolled my eyes. "What? Why? When?" Jazmine asked frantically ignoring Cindy.

"Long story." I mumbled.

Jazmine rolled her eyes. "Cindy we have to find her! Who knows what they're doing to her?" Jazmine asked.

"Look girl I barely know where we are." she stopped and looked at Jazmine who looked like she close to tears. "Don't worry Jaz we'll find her." she said and squeezed her other hand reaussringly.

Jazmine nodded and took some deep breath. Then when she opened her eyes I saw something that was never there before. She looked determined and fearless. We turned left and came face to face with 15 guards.

"Damn it..." I mumbled.

Cindy and Jazmine pulled out there guns and started shooting. I looked around to find something usefull. I saw a broom by the wall and broke the bottom off. I ran towards one guy and hit him in the head with it. He grabbed it in paina nd I brought it under him making him fall. I threw down the broom stick and started punching him over and over. Then when I was done I hit him in the head again for good measure. I looked over at Jazmine.

She was having a shooting fight with this guy. He shot she dodge she shot he dodged. Finally she got frustrated and ran over to the guy kicking the gun out of his hand. It fell to the floor and she bitch slapped him with her gun. He fell and she kicked him in the balls twice before moving in for the next person.

Cindy was trying to shoot another guy but he as too quick for her. He ran towards her and kicked the gun out her hand. It was so weird. A gun popped out of her pocket imdiately and she garbbed and swung it trying to stab him. He doged those as well. He brought out his gun to shoot her and just when he was about to pull the trigger she sliced off his whole hand. Blood squirted from the top.

"AAAAAHHHHHH!" He screamed. "You crazy bitch!"

"Damn right I am." she growled then jumped in the air and kicked him across the face. He fell to the ground. She smirked proud of herslef then moved on to the next.

My attentio was snapped back into focus when one guy took a wild swing and I dodged it just in time, it cut a small picec of my afro. I leaned forward and head butted him. He stumbled backward and I shot him, he fell dead.

"Hey let it go!" I heard Jazmine yell.

I turned and saw she was in a battle with a guy. He was pulling on her gun and she was trying to get it back. I was about to go help her but a guy jumped out of nowhere and grabbed my arm. Another grabbed my leg and the other grabbed my head. They pulled me down and held me there. Cindy was swinging widly and when someone tried to grab her she stabbed him in his chest. She tried to pull it back out but it was stuck and that was enough time for some one to pull her to the ground. Jazmine finally got her gun and shot the guy in front of her. But she took to much time smiling in victory and someone else grabbed her. We were all down.

"Well weren't you guys a tough bunch?" The man asked. He picked up his gun. On the side of his face was a long cut I'm sure Cindy made. "Now time to see, who should I kill first?" he tapped his chin thinking it over. "Jazmine?" he asked.

"NO!" I screamed.

He ignored me and walked over to her. Jazmine closed her eyes tight and sucked in a breath. He pulled the trigger...nothing came out. Jazmine peeked one eye then the other. "Guess not." he said dissapointedly. "Huey?" he asked. He walked over to me and held the gun out. I looked back him glaring. He pulled the trigger.

BANG!

It barely missed my by a half inch. I flinched slightly. He shook his head. "Only one bullet left." he walked over to Cindy. "Maybe for the crazy BITCH that cut my FACE!" he yelled angrliy. Cindy smirked and stuck out her tongue. "You little whore." he pulled out the gun and pointed it to her. "Say bye bye..."

And that when I saw it. The small red dot on the side of his face. I looked at Jazmine and told her to cover her eyes. She did just when the bullet went flying and shot through his head. His eyes rolled in the back of his head and he fell. Jazmine screamed although she didn't see it. Cindy gasped.

BANG, BANG, BANG!

Everyone holding us fell down dead. I hopped up imdiately. "Damn I thought that nigga would neva shut the fuck up." I heard someone say.

I knew who it was before I even turned around. I turned anyway and there was Riley. He stood there arms out (obviously flexing) and smirking. Cindy and Jazmine gasped at the same time. Behind him was Daniel, Natasha, and Rummy (greeeaaatt).

Jazmine squealed and ran over to them hugging them. "I knew you guys would come." she said softly.

"Yea I thought y'all needed some Reezy." he said cockily.

Then his eyes landed on me. We stood there staring at each other. I don't know why but he looked different which was strange. He had the same hairstyle, same diamond earring in his right ear, and he even wore his same cocky smirk but something was different. We both didn't move or say anything.

"Will ya guys please get da gay ass brotha hug over wit?" Cindy asked impatiently. We both glared at her and she flicked us off.

We looked back at each other. I think he moved first but soon we were hugging each other. Not a "gay ass brotha" hug but a hug none the less. He patted my back and I did the same then we let go.

"Good ta see ya McHater." he said.

I rolled my eyes. "Shut up." I said. He snickered.

"Where's Sophie?" Daniel asked.

"And Ceaser?" Natasha asked.

"And why Rummy hurr?" Cindy asked.

"Whoa, whoa,whao! Geez one at a time!" Jazmine said. "Ok we don't know where Sophie is and as for Ceaser. Don't worry he's somewhere safe."

"Ok but still why is Rummy hurr?" Cindy asked. Jazmine shrugged.

"What a nigga can't help out his homies?" he asked. We all stared at him. "Man fuck y'all." he said flicking us off.

"Man dis nigga was lonely because Ed all proper now." Daniel explained.

Rummy slapped him in the back of his head and Cindy snickered.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

We all turned our attetion to the sound. It was coming from down the hallway. I knew that sound anywhere it was Sophie.

"Is that...?" Jazmine stopped and looked at me.

"I think it is." Cindy said.

"It is." I said confirming it.

"Come one." Riley said.

Then guards jumped in front of us. All of them vicious and ready to attack. They inched forward, more and more.

"Wait..." I said. They stood still. "Wait..." I said again.

"Huey!" Jazmine hissed.

"Just wait!" I yelled.

"Nigga come on!" Cindy yelled.

"Just listen!" I yelled.

"Now!" Riley yelled and we all jumped forward attacking.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHH!" she screamed again.

"Don't worry Soph we're coming." I thought.

Sophie's POV:

I glared coldly at Theo. He was wearing just pants. His tan muscules were showing and water was dripping down them slowly. He pushed his curly hair back.

"You really think you can get away with this?" I asked. He shook his head and looked down. "Look at me!" I snapped. His eyes shot up. "You are a fucking disgusting human being. Not only did you help someone "kill" Ceaser but you helped them kidnap me and Huey. But you know whats the worst thing? You raped a little girl!"

His eyes got wide. "How did you-"

"Not important. Only that I do. Now listen to me. You're going to help me escape." I said.

He shook his head. "Sophie-"

I crossed the room quickly and slapped him. My leg burned but I ignored it. "I don't wannna her that bullshit! What I want is to leave and be safe! Now tell me how to get outta here!" I yelled angrily.

He fell on the bed and for the first time I seen tears rolling down his face. I looked at him warily. He looked up and suddenly looked very tired, as if he's been crying for hours. "You think I don't know this stuff? Huh? I do Sophie!" he yelled back. "You think I don't want to leave?" he demanded.

I shrugged softening. "Then why don't you?" I asked.

He shook his head. "Once your in, your in for life. Death is the only way out."

I shivered at how scary that sounded. I sat next to him (well a good 5 feet but still). "If you help me I'll help you." I said softly.

He shook his head again. "Sophie do you know why your here?" he asked. I shook my head. "Because he's about to torture you. Not to death but you'll wish you were. I can't help you I don't even know what to do." he said softly and my heart hurt for him.

I scooted over and grabbed his hand in mine. "Wanna find out together?" I asked.

He squeezed my hand back and we just stared at each other. "Okay." he finally said.

I nodded and stood up not putting pressure on my leg. "Come on. Lets bang on the door. They'll open it and then we'll attack." I explained.

He nodded and we both walked over to the door. "LET US OUT!" we yelled banging. "OPEN THIS DOOR!" "LET US OUT!" "OPEN IT NOW!"

Ok the plan was kinda suckish but it was the best I could think of at the moment. Anyways the door did fly open but it hit Theo in the head knocking him out. "Theo!" I yelled bending down to help him.

"Oh no you don't." he grabbed me and dragged me out the room closing the door.

"Let me go!" I shouted.

"Don't worry I will soon enough."

We walked for a while then he came to the door and said the same password as before. The door swung opened. The man walked over to a metal bed and threw me on it, starpping me down.

"Stupid mother fucker!" I yelled as he exited the room. "Hey! Somebody help me!" I yelled.

"Oh I'll help you...once you help me." I turned. I knew that voice. The poetic one. He stepped out of the shawdow but had on a mask.

"I'm not saying anything." I said stubbornly.

"Oh maybe not now. But I'm sure I can change your mind." he said and smirked something that looked disgusting on his face.

"Thats what you think." I muttered.

"Sophie you really are an intriging girl. Quite funny to say the least but..." he pressed a button.

"AAAAAHHHHH!" I yelled.

"That won't be enough to save you." he pressed it again. I sighed in relief. Then he lifted his hands to his maks and removed it.

"Oh my gosh are you-"

"Yes I am." he laughed a crazy laugh and suddenly his voice wasn't poetic anymore, it was scary. "Hello Sophie. I'm sure you've heard plenty about me as I have you."

"Let me go!" I yelled.

"In due time." he replied.

He pressed the button and made me feel the worst pain a person could ever feel.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
